Holistic Analysis of the Influencing Factors of Construction 4.0 Technology Implementation in the Construction Industry: A Twin Sustainable and Digital Transition Perspective

Construction 4.0 (C4.0) was begotten with emergent and disruptive technologies in the construction industry. Despite the promising benefits such as productivity and competitiveness, scholars and practitioners are still struggling with how to promote C4.0 technology implementation (C4.0TechIm) in construction. Previous discourses primarily lay in certain aspects of C4.0 without a holistic view of the influencing factors of C4.0TechIm. This study thus seeks to unveil the influencing factors of C4.0 technology implementation based on the twin sustainable and digital transition perspectives and guide future research needs. The authors reviewed the 77 relevant articles, identified a comprehensive list of 60 influencing factors, and used simplified analysis to quantify the factors. It is found that knowledge gaps exist in developing decision-making models that cover all the identified factors in an integrated framework. Practically, the results provide references to accelerate C4.0 technology implementation and offer strategies for maximizing potential benefits.
